In audio mixing for AV production, the primary objective is to blend various audio tracks into a cohesive output. This process involves adjusting levels, panning sounds across the stereo field, adding effects, and ensuring that all elements work harmoniously together. Effective mixing provides clarity and balance, making it possible for the audience to hear dialogue, music, and sound effects at the appropriate levels, which enhances the overall listening experience.

While converting analog signals to digital format, enhancing the quality of video, and reducing external noises are significant tasks within audio and video production, they do not define the core purpose of audio mixing. Mixing is specifically focused on the integration of multiple audio sources into a final product that sounds polished and professional, thereby significantly impacting the emotional delivery and clarity of the audiovisual experience.
